Chapter 608: 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment

The Americans thought that they could open up a second battlefield and directly attack the key points of Iraq from the north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

If you attack from the direction of Saudi Arabia, there will be deserts everywhere, which is convenient for the deployment of troops and the mobility of heavy troops, but in the mountainous areas in the north, the terrain is very complicated, and if the Americans want to attack Baghdad, heavy troops are necessary, and their supply transportation is the first big problem!

That's why the Americans are messing with the Kurds, but I don't know how much pressure the Americans are under in this way? Because, in the entire Kurdish nation, the largest part of the population, is in Turkey! Kurds on the territory of Turkey, forty percent of the entire Kurds!

Turkey's attitude towards the Kurds has always been quite tough, and the president of Turkey has said that the Kurds? There are no Kurds in Turkey, only mountain Turks! They consider the Kurds to be uncivilized mountain people, erase all their historical civilizations, and try to assimilate them.

And now? The Americans support the Kurds in Iraq, how will the Turks react? They definitely don't want to see the Kurds in their own territory see their compatriots make significant progress on the road to independence, and at the same time these Turkish Kurds are also on the move, right?

Reagan was mad and agreed with such a bad idea from his think tanks! In fact, the most suitable thing for them is to concentrate all their forces and fight the Iraqi army in Saudi Arabia.

Now the Americans are actually going to Turkey! With Andre's personality, it would be too abnormal not to block the chickens!

…………

South of Mosul, Gaiara.

The wide Tigris River, which flows right next to it, is a highway built along the river that is the transportation artery between the north and south of Iraq, and at the same time, a railway that runs almost parallel to the highway also plays an important role as a transportation artery.

Although Iraq is a turbulent country, but because of its rich oil resources, Iraq's economy is still good, and now it is only the early eighties, and most families in Iraq have cars and televisions, which have become the necessities of Iraqi residents' lives.

And now, on this highway, it is crowded with all kinds of cars, full of luggage, some even have a lot of strapped to the roof, these cars, the whole highway is crowded, all the cars, are moving south.

The Americans are in! The Kurds are reversed! The Arabs living here, in order to avoid reprisals from the Kurds, had to move south.

No matter what kind of war it is, the victims are always ordinary people!

And just behind these crowded vehicles, a dozen highways, an army was rushing at a rapid pace.

They were all heavily armed, with their tank engines rumbling and their guns high, followed by infantry fighting vehicles, which were also majestic.

The pride of the 5th US Army, the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, which was originally stationed in Fulda, France, completed combat readiness in three days after receiving orders from their superiors, and then maneuvered to Turkey, and from Turkey to Iraq!

Their task is to rush to Baghdad and solve the source of evil in the Middle East once and for all!

The 11th U.S. Armored Cavalry Regiment is a veteran unit with a history of nearly 100 years! Its earliest name was the U.S. 11th Cavalry Regiment, which was founded in 1902 as part of the U.S. 2nd Cavalry Division. After the outbreak of World War II, the 11th Cavalry Regiment was converted into an armored regiment and participated in the later battles of World War II, such as the Ardennes-Rhineland, the Alsace campaign, and the liberation of Central Europe.

During the Cold War, the 11th Panzer Cavalry Regiment was stationed in Germany and became a fully mechanized unit equipped with tanks by replacing a large number of M113 armored vehicles, M114 armored vehicles, and M48 Patton main battle tanks. After that, he participated in the Vietnam War. In the Vietnam War, the United States experienced an unprecedented defeat, but it had nothing to do with the 11th Panzer Cavalry Regiment, they were like a plug-in, invincible everywhere they went. Throughout the Vietnam War, the 11th Panzer Cavalry Regiment had the record of killing more than 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers and losing 300 of its own lives.

After that, they returned to Europe and stationed until now.

Re-entering the battlefield, they want to continue the previous victories and win glory for the military flag!

So, having accepted the task, the commander of the armored cavalry regiment, after analyzing the map, decided to take the easiest way: by road!

Taking the highway is the fastest solution, but without mastering air supremacy, it is very risky to take the road! This kind of long snake formation is very vulnerable to air strikes!

However, Howard, the commander of the armored cavalry regiment, was not afraid, and the characteristic of this battle was suddenness, that is, speed! If you take the path guided by the Kurdish guides, many places will have to be built by sappers before you can drive a tank! In this case, it will take half a month to get to Baghdad! He couldn't wait that long! Now, take the ready-made road passenger walk, and you can rush to Baghdad in one day! Now in Baghdad, the army is empty, and one of your own cavalry regiments can take it down!

At the forefront, the 1st Armored Battalion, nicknamed Iron Horse, was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Cheno, sitting on his tank, leaning out half of his body and looking into the distance with a telescope.

The road ahead is blocked! Countless Iraqi refugees have blocked the road so tightly that this will seriously affect the speed of their own march!

"Order, rush forward! Knock these vehicles off the road! Lieutenant Colonel Chenoy shouted over the radio.

In war, human nature is the easiest to distort, and if we can win from war, then we must not talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality! If these vehicles are blocking your path, push them all down!

"Understood." On the front tank, the tanker retracted his head into the hull, stepped on the accelerator, the turbine engine at the rear roared, and the body of the M1 tank had hit a pickup truck at the front!

The pickup truck was pushed forward and crashed into an off-road vehicle in front of it, and the people in the car were screaming, while the American GIs continued to step on the accelerator, tracks, and ran over hard!

When the M1 tank drove by, the vehicles turned into pieces of paper.

The civilians in the vehicle in front of them collapsed, and they jumped out of their car and sped on both sides of the road.

"Da-da, da-da-da." At this moment, machine guns on American tanks opened fire! Bullets flew over the scalps of fleeing civilians, and a woman sat on the ground, crying in fright. (To be continued.) )
